Well, yeah, and ogcd shields exist, like Benison, CI in Diurn. But for scholar to be a barrier healer, properly, it needs that.
as it turns out, incentivizing people to dps helps when it benefits healing
It'll be like FF13 all over again.
Leveling it's good enough
Probably a rework coming
Elemental Staves make it piss easy to land debuffs.
Well, I don't see the single target ogcd barriers going away for WHM or AST, because of dungeons.
@worn bloom it was a waste of MP which created more downtime in between pull chains
sch is 100% rework
But SCH having them, + Excog+ seraph? Yeah
My groups always had RDM's main healing.
scholar becomes the seraph
is this the expansion where they separate
Maybe they move them from Barrier to something else? Hard to say.
The barrier's useful during the pull to help stabilize without grabbing yellow-names. Not much CAN replace it in terms of worth.
Useful yes, but not required.
Regen's have the problem of ticking and getting things mid pull and messing with the tank's train
Which might be enough for them to ax it. Hard to say.
Red Mage was a backup healer but mostly it excelled at being the MP battery and the teams enfeeblist
Red Mage had the one spell all magic users loved. Refresh.
SCH needs to be more intuitive
A tank can easily get threat with an AoE, but if mobs are going in five different directions during the pull because of a regen tick, that's unwieldy and makes things unnecessarily harder
it's very clunky to play
im pretty interested how would astro be changed because of sage
it is very intuitive imo
just regen and keep pace with your tank
You realize that eating your fairy actually an overall healing loss right
Probably just delete Noct Sect and some minor spell changes
gap close gap close
just rescue the tank to you
making fairy actions tied to GCD sucks
What if AST gets Urianger's reverse Rescue 
Not if it's at the end of a pull, and there's nothing to heal, and you have free aetherflow for the next pull when she comes back up.
What if rescue pulled everybody to your location
i guess noct sect being gone would make neutral sect useless
neutral sect was already pretty naff
Neutral sect not affecting your ogcds is what made it useless.
Nutual sect being neutral sect made it uselesd
Or rather, it feels bad that it's useful when you cast heals in a meta where you need to avoid casting heals
you know what an AST rework means, Dis
more dps cards
another shot for a skill of theirs to be named Equinox 
wait
actually that IS what Neutral Sect should have been named
@subtle pasture another shot for a skill of theirs to be named the Unstoppable Exodia
When are we getting the Contact Fusion AST card
I am predicting the Malefic and Combust series of spells be renamed
we also need Black Lotus AST card
Broil... maybe? But Broil doesn't follow the -ra, -ga, -ja progressin
Glare 2 is gonna be lit
i see what you did there
I am having fun trying to envision what fuckery they do with GNB
Glare 2, yes please.
Cause I feel like it's bars are pretty full as-is.
I'd like an upgrade to Sonic Break and give it an actual animation
And then obv something named Renzokuken
isn't that the ranged attack for GNB
that's... literally... Continuation Combo
Maybe just give it some passive
Nothing in Continuation is called Renzokuken though. I want the actual name damnit.
No... Renzokuken MEANS 'Continuation Sword'
Isn't it it's claw Fang Talon combo technically like renzokuken
IT's already IN there
The finishing moves for Renzo are all oddly what GNB uses for other abilities
Yeah continuation which you weave in between each of your claw fang Talon combo
I want that for all Jobs, akin to PvP

It makes it more new-player friendly too. Just have combos on 1 button.
They won't do it.
you'll take my monk fuckery from my cold, dead hands
Won't go into why but they wont.
but keeping my dps 1 2 3s
They already said they would never do that
There's a good reason why it IS that way
over my fucking dead body
Also, delete Storm's Eye and just fold it into Storm's Path lol
but why
does anyone here macro their gnashing fang
they should let the buff be granted by the aoe combo
fuck no
thats one button
not just extended

Holy moly yes
Overpower should just grant it tbh
thank fuck yoshi-p stops listening to people
@digital forge it's good he listens to people but it's also very good that he understands common sense and that the customer is not always right
I don't remember any of that during SB 
we got a tank last expansion
koji, yoshi, and them know we like emmes
@woeful dagger I was there it happened
i started playing ffxiv just before sb launched
then was in the early access
i was a week or two behind evceryone though
Can't wait for Sage rotation to be: laser blast laser blast laser blast laser blast
😎
you forgot gun shoot
Justice sure is people in shadowbringers were outraged that they weren't getting their fourth healer in stormblood people were outraged they weren't getting their fourth tank
dummy
How have i never had this meme idea
I'm glad they didn't release a fourth tank with SB cause it allowed them to focus on getting WAR mostly right
Koji is literally
next expansion we need healer and tank 🙂
some people thoughti twould be two DPS since we weren't sure if SE would fix
the healer problem
Michael K Fox. I feel like there is a Michael J Fox meme waiting to happen related to that.
Did somebody say Koji Fox?
I think because there's been no real pattern, no one really knows what's in store every expansion anymore.
did they ever do 2 dps at once
Just the last expansion 
yes
And ARR was NIN/SMN
wtf is that mess @heady shadow
memes
They didn't do two dps at once in ARR. One of them came more than a year after
but nah, we haven't had an expac where they threw us two DPS
@heady shadow none of tehse apply so I am thus salty as a drk main
They wants to keep a certain balance
The developers want to make sure that every role has at least close to the same amount of jobs
Which is why they made dancer a ranged DPS because we only had two every other role at least had three
xD
Well the new melee job is being added only for armor reasons it seems
So there's that
streeeetch
But that's fine because they have a better balance
I just wanna say,
And they just added their 4th healer
Dark Arts animation was cool looking
No, Yoshida said that because DRG had its own armor it "was easy" to make the next DPS a melee
drg has a unique armor class that isn't shared by anyone else
this honestly is the rotation i use lol
DRG shares accessories with only 2 other jobs for a total of three, and it shares its armor with nobody. This makes it the least shared gear of anyone.
Yeah but then they changed it to scouting tanks can use the some of the same gear dragoons did ARR
@heady shadow i dont have pictures memorized just buttons at this point so
cant say for me
Kay but that's not your original claim
Well the new melee job is being added only for armor reasons it seems
Is not the same as nor implied by
tmb | Tank Stance | Balmung: No, Yoshida said that because DRG had its own armor it "was easy" to make the next DPS a melee
hey remember when everyone used that one gear type?
for coils?
what was it again?
Darklight?
s-something
Last I checked accessories can be worn by all jobs even if the stats don't work for that job
something with an S
There we go synced Coils in full Darklight
So wouldn't it be more about the left side than the accessories
Lets farm some philos
And in that case after heavensward ninja is also in the same position having only access to scouting gear
accessories past L60 can't be worn by all jobs
That could also mean 'We wanted to add a new armored melee, and it's easy to do because dragoon doesn't share its gear'
Oh you mean Slaying accessories
Yes slaying
Ninja also should have just used aiming gear from the start, they did wierd shit with ninja
Could also be the name. Maiming and slaying could be a clue.
Eh, idk. Scouting seems fine. Ninja's gear aesthetic doesnt line up well with BRD/MCH, and certainly not DNC.
Like having it start by using monk gear, slapping dex on pre 2.4 monk gear, and then having them move to unique gear.
It more than likely went "we want to add a DPS, here are some ideas. Oh this one can share with DRG, we'll use that idea"
Yes, sometimes the ninja's is dyed black while the bard is dyed white!
If it is going to use maiming and slaying gear then it is likely going to be something that could maim and slay. Just like a drg can
Still not the same as 'only making the job because of the armor'
Meanwhile capeless MNK's in striking armor get mad
mnks been getting samurai dresses
I said adding, not making
Must be shit to be a capeless judge
'samurai no maim, only slay'
@maiden lodge but Samurai uses striking
SO they can strike, but not maim. Swords can never maim.
You strike with a katana
i don't think they're the same... 
Just pointing out the issue with the previous logic
You cannot strike with a spear, only maim
Usually being able to finish your foe with a single stroke
See how that doesn't ACTUALLY work?
@maiden lodge Dragoon's can't wear striking gear
I know that tips.
What's going on he --
run
Follow the logic given.
'Class must have a combat style that maims and slays, because it uses maiming and slaying gear.'
implies
'Classes that do not use maiming gear therefore cannot have a combat style that maims'
It's pointing out the problem with the logic
implies 'Classes that do not use striking gear cannot have a combat style that strikes'
Funny you should mention that.
!action Maim
But.... you can maim with a katana and strike with a spear
That's our Gruntler 
So..... maybe don't take gear types literally?
I'm literally saying 'don't be semantic'
Dont be Symantec either, their software sucks.
@maiden lodge but there's obviously a certain direction they take with each type of armor
Follow the logic.
7:25 PM] Yayayo Yayo: If it is going to use maiming and slaying gear then it is likely going to be something that could maim and slay. Just like a drg can
You are claiming combat style must match... maiming and slaying?
So... you can't slay with magic?
You can't maim with a sword?
See how it does not actually work?
It falls apart, when you think about it for five seconds, or at all.
Pretty sure i can slay with any fucking weapon i so desire.
Bullets slay things quite nicely
no no, bullets can't slay, only aim
Also ninjas aim
not slay
NO SLAY! ONLY AIM!
Each style of armor has a theme though.
Fending
Healing
Casting
Aiming
Maiming
Striking
Scouting
Assassinate doesn't slay a target, it only aims.
dancer with most of aiming gear doesnt look too great but its in there
Since DRG has shared its appearance with tanks like 9/10 times that sharing occurred
DRG's must be tank
Like I'm not suddenly the principal of the college just because I'm a tank and Sharlayan preceptor gear exists
lol
@tropic frigate exactly
tbf some gear was shared with tanks
Well, I am 100% an Allagan android because High Allagan gear exists
....i said that?
Okay so then why do they make two different sets of gear with the same stats
Since when were Doga and Unei androids. They're clones.
Maiming and striking both give strength as its damage stat so why create maiming? Why not just have Dragoon use striking
because the visual theme makes no sense
Dragoon is supposed to be heavily armorered. Its stat actually HAVE higher armor.
wouldn't be hte most farfetched rp backstory
But didn't somebody just point out that dancer can use aiming gear but visually it does not fit?
^
So then why didn't we create a separate set of gear for the dancer
That's because 99% of Aiming gear was made before DNC existed
But weight-wise the gear works just fine
Honestly the tome gear for ShB felt meh to me.
@unique verge what you just said What mattered was visual
weight wise?
I didn't say put it on maiming
I said make a new set that looks visually matching with the dancer
maybe the new job will look good in heavy armor like drg
But their objective is to even out the job balance among the armor types
not create more
They put it where it fit
Just like the new melee will go where it fits - Maiming.
Also in terms of visuals Dragoon's don't wear very heavy armor because it hinders their movements and they have to move like a dragon
That's objectively false
How are you going to wear bulky plate armor and jump as high as a dragon in flight
Like, i cant begin to describe how wrong that is
Almost every Maiming or DRG-specific set in the game is in some way "armored"
Yes but it's not heavy armor it's got to provide some room for movement
It uses lighter materials
They're intended to be able to go 1v1 with dragons, and take hits from them. That's their design. They litearlly have the second highest Defense stat in the game.
And isn't plated like something a warrior or knight would be comfortable in
It wasn't intended to take hit from Dragon it was intended to strike dragons were they feel most comfortable which is the sky
Which is why they can jump higher than anybody else
Nonsense
Look at basically any DRG AF set
its covered in metal
or hell, look at Maiming sets, which oftentimes are reskins of Fending sets.
its implied that DRG armors are made with lightweight metal alloys
Wasn't the drg floortank meme from animation locks + lowest mdef for a while
Yeah
floortank beacuse they cant take magic damage worth a shit
Think Omega Savage will be ez by the time expansion hits?
and because jump was a dice roll as to if you'd get stuck
Can take dragon claws but not their fire 😔
also because you had hard positionals back in the day
so if drg tried to get positionals to start combos they just died to weight of the land
ARR DRG was hardcore
Should be but with the stat squish it may actually e difficult
or wiped the raid for putting weights where you didn't want them
on top of dying to the first tumult wave
or backflipped off the platform
We really don’t know how the stat squish will effect unsync
i was laughing hard cuz i went back to do Alex 12 savage unsynced and it still killed us
if you don't pay attention or do the mechanics
def will kill you still lol
I want to breeze past the Shb fights
I don't think there's any HP level where the LB mechanic can be skipped
big Z always kills you 
That’s the reason why I don’t mount farm when trials are relevant
I like saving that content for the next expansion 
i tried to duo living liquid savage with my in game wife, unsynced and we almost did it but that part where it splits?
lol if you don't kill it on time, you automatically die
omega savage is easy enough ppl cheese patch and jump off for hello world and still skip hw2
DRG armour is mostly plated but it uses lighter materials
do you guys think any chance of a new race?
Its also designed to have elements of spikes on it in case the DRG gets eaten.
No @wicked bluff
They said they won't add new races
Might get male viera and female hrothgar though
i see
man i'm excited
i didn't know what to expect with shadowbringers
and this one is just.,.. all hyped
¯_(ツ)_/¯
@wicked bluff there was never any hint that they were going to add the male and female variants people are just hoping that they somehow care about their constant nagging
Added the missing genders is the equivalent of adding the new races
there's little chance of the opposite gender hrothgar/viera
Not at all @open verge
It’s not like opposite genders is easier then a new race
lo lbecause we aer goin to the moon..
since those two races in particular were added in place of a single new race with a M/F distinction
They gonna add namingway's race
They've specifically said they aren't adding new races
i see
Yea I’m saying the missing genders is still work they don’t want to do
That leaves the possibility for male/female variants
Yeah yeah
I'm not saying its gonna happen
adding opposite gender hroth/viera requires a shitload of additional work
But it can
like, they can't even get helms to work with the races they have already
The reason for no new races isn’t because they don’t want anymore it’s because they don’t want to making more gear sets for races
adding two more broken ones
@wicked bluff designing an NPC race that they don't have to scale for every single piece of armor in the entire game is a lot different than designing a playable race that will have access to every piece of armor ever made in the game
We will be fucking lucky if hrothgar gets new hair 6.0
I mean you can use existing male au'ra skeletons/models for male viera
As i've said many times
on top of that, it needs to have every piece of armor in the game and a full animation rig that supports any job ability animation
Problem is the animations
The moment that ||Gunnhildr was shown as a femroe with cat eyes|| the idea of fem hroth died.
most of the creeps out there are looking for female au ra size/rigging for male viera
because smol bunboy, just like my shitty shoujo anime
lmao
I want a fucking character creator overhaul before new races
what's wrong with fem au'ra's ;;
How long has shadowbringers been out now
Character creator in this game fucking stinks
almost 2 years
au'ra F sucks
Like 2 years 3 years?
it came out july 2019
Yeah 2 years
MMO expansions are typically on a 2 year cycle
they're tiny and everyone worships them because they're basically XL lalafell
I don’t like fem aura they have ugly faces
gross
I just don’t like the aura face
really? i've seen some pretty derpy lookin faces
male au'ra have worse faces tho @open verge
The concepts of fem au ra makes me hate the ones we have
As always, with relation to these things
2 years and people still can't stop with the gender lock thing
I like fem au ra NPC's. I fucking hate fem au ra players.
the creeps will never let the manbun go
Hildibrand has best face. 
because they want a smol bunboy to fetishize
I mean the only reason male viera is still getting talked about is because of the concept art that we know exists for it
@woven escarp that actually would be funny if it wasn't painfully true
if there's one thing FFXIV's community can be reliably called, it's thirsty
horny
degenerate
Hroth lady draws in furries
Short bunny supremacy
I don't think it's any more thirsty than other MMO communities
It is ridiculously more thirsty and degenerate than all other MMO communities
The thing with ff14 is that the gear could be way hornier then it is
idk WoW has a massive yas queen thirst campaign for Sylvanas that transcends anything in FF14

Its literally advertised in public with no restrictions
Ff14 gear doesn’t go full horny at all
People simping over a lore character is not the same as literal erp ads everywhere
2b @open verge
I mean, XIV is degenerate in extreme ways
people having dungeons and shit in their FC housing
Oh then you haven't been to Moon Guard or Wyrmrest Accord yet lol
People roleplaying in DF.
shit you'd get hard slapped in the face for if you tried to talk about it in person
And it's always a tank x healer combo.
people are like "yo lemme get some of that"
Those places have nothing on FF14

@woeful dagger wyrmrest used to be wholesome and peaceful
Then they ruined it forever
I get CE on Wyrmrest every tier it's wild
As someone who plays worgen in wow, sylvanas must die
I watched preach latest drama time story it was about ff14 and I got second hand embarrassment
you guys think we may get another 8 man main scenario in ENW
I was an orc Shaman I always hated The Forsaken
72 man.
No spoilers! But, Drama Time is great
My Rogue and Shaman have been pretty much every race in the game multiple times over
Lol 72 man it is
The story was about ||shiva ||and him seeing the character design of ||shiva ||made me feel ashamed LOL
what's wrong with her character design
I tried Viera on launch for SHB
As much as a iloved it... i hated the lack of helmet options
😢
I'm a Viera cause they have the best run animation in the game
fem highlanders look too derpy and... just ugh
I don't really wear helmets anyway
no thanks
Female Roes run like they are holding in a shit
they look that way because they are stupid lmao
ooga booga
their animations are basically "I have no idea what's going on but I'm having a good time"

me want nobleman
But as I middy Paladin I wear a crown
Fordola is the best Highlander character by far
i hope they give paladin a badass move
I wear the crown of light and the Ivalice holy knight armor
i've been into the Yorha armor
Just like fray in shb
I have been using the caster void ark gear to look like fischl from genshin impact
Will Fordola join the scions?💡
Is genshin freemium?

Fordola will have a heroic death to dispel the Resonant in Zenos because SE is predictable writing
@woeful dagger my character is from Ilsabard and has been all over the world learning the sword. When she came to Eorzea she became a free Paladin
Yes but it also sucks
Genshin is free for the first 20~ hours of play time
Then you hit a brick wall with exploration level or w/e
I just want to see more fordola REEEE
i'm kinda happy this trailer came out, makes me wanna play again
Yotsuyu should join the scions
i took a big break
So freemium
i guess maybe other did too
Yotsuyu's corpse for scions
I did 😔
I took most of ShB off cause I was playing WoW
Hello being able to topple the garlean empire for good is a big plus for my character
sometimes a break makes you miss the game so much
when you come back it feels almost new again
but I also ended up taking a big break because I hard ground every job to 80 during quarantine
that's a lot of XIV man
Ystride is the new antecedent 💡
i took a big break before SHB too
i think that's why i was SO upset at the warrior nerf
because i got so adjusted to it
and RDM got a bad nerf too
Also she loves fruit
should just have swapped to GNB like me
heh i did actually
Grapes?
GNB and DRK are my current faves
Absolutely
I'm seriously considering swapping to healer in EW cause its so hard to find Statics on Crystal as a tank.
i like PLD but needs a big boost imo
And that was before I found out about Azem
Like 90% of Statics on the Alpha Discord need healers
weird that HW was DRG
WAR gettin' nerfed. 
I was WAR from ARR to ShB actually lol
I lived and died by that Job, through all the terribleness of ARR and HW
WAR was so good in SB
Soo ffiv is now the theme..... YAAAASSSSS😭 🥳
did you play war when it was bad?
member when inner beast was just a 300 potency heal and no damage reduction?
wait is WAR getting boosted or nerfed
Paladin. I played everything else and have multiple maxed jobs but I always gravitate toward Paladin because it's the true hero
I played WAR when you weren't even invited to groups
Back before the Job stacking limit gauge penalty
seems like we won't learn about existing job changes until late summer or something
so PLD/PLD was the only 'meta' comp
idk but WAR and PLD need buffs
pld... buffs? 🤔
lol tbh I feel like WAR is in a good place
PLD for AOE heals.
nearly indestructible at times

@woven escarp I love where Paladin is at right now it's the best it's ever been it actually has a much better identity as a Holy Knight
PLD needs to get a trait so that Clemency can be used within a raid scenario
So I don't want them to change a whole lot
eh, I enjoy WAR because it's so chill
I only swapped to GNB from WAR because after so long on one Job it's nice to do something new
Pld needs@more glowing weapons
hm
a half-decent rock could play WAR
Maybe I should keep working on my relic
I'm farming ST right now for mine
yeah old ass relic but it looks very good
WAR lux is "meh"
Will we find out what Oriange@did to the Modimbra minions?
Something always happens at the last stages of every expansion I get and I'm forced to be away from the game
So I have never finished a single relic weapon to the end
omega tank chest is forever glam bis
is that the Scaeven set 🤔
no
Need more bikinis 💡
I like the Eureka tank set
omega chest is this one
rocking this right now
Why does some of the EW music give me Alex vibes?
cause it's by the primals
hoping moon armor is glowy and cool lookin like this
But something else familiar about it....
lol is the short form really gonna be EW
Not even the vocal bits
Why do males turn into@female sin eaters? 💡
Sin Eaters don't have a gender i don't think
The music I swear sounds like I heard in a dungeon or raid somwhere
I was disappointed the 2P fight music was just a remix of the standard battle music
Where are the Male pixies and male Vieras?
i mean thats the theme they went for in copied as well
we'll get a remix for 3rd raid too i think
? we've talked to both male and female pixies
the pixie in the MSQ with voice lines (not Ul) is male for instance
We all know why Azem is on the moon, yeah?
To find water
Yoshi talked to me in my dreams last night.
When I asked him about male Viera, all he said was

Tasty moon grapes.
And then I woke up. 
Male viera plz
I hope it's a remix of a nier 1 track
shadowlord with voice samples of kaine swearing at weiss
ive never played tomato but which tracks in Yorha are remixes of tomato songs? or are they all just kinda "machine-y" ff14 tracks?
Azem just wants them tasty moon grapes.
Zenos told him they were there as a joke and when he found out he swore to bring him to justice, hence the pose at the end.
Don't fk with Azem's grapes.
isnt Azem a girl or did i read it wrong
Azem is whatever you are
i always knew she was a bun
It's a pretty genderless name.
The WoL is Azem
Could even be a pixar mom ;p
it all makes sense
https://youtube.com/shorts/K1v8SnHVyWE
Those AREN'T GRAPES!
They should let okabe used the voice distortion he used for the drakengard songs
for maximum
Hey that part of the song at the end what if it isn't "yeah"
What if it's the sound of people upset with things they didn't get so it's their collective "REEEEEEEEEE"
5.0 GNB/DNC
Fans: Best new jobs!
6.0 Sage/Reaper
Fans:

Zenos just looked at everyone down below and said "No male Viera" and the people started burning Garlemald down.
Loving the story!
If I may ask, and please don't hurt me. And I don't care if male Viera ever became a thing or not. Is there a particular reason people want them so badly?
So they can fetishize them
SE: Fall 2021
Luke Skywalker: Nooooooo! Noooooooopoo....
cat boys want a new race
Hats First
If it exists someone is into it.
Bunny boys and bunny girls...yeah that's going to go well in cities xD
There are like 3 different mutually exclusive fantasies for male viera so a decent number of people want them but most people would end up being unhappy with them
the only way male viera would be worth adding in my eyes is if they made them horrendous fanged ugly ass creatures that are taller than hrothgar and very beast-like
just to shit on all the fujoshi who want dainty femboys with bunny ears
So you can watch the tears flow?
yes
half of hte people who want male viera want it to fulfill their sexual desires smh
I can do that without paying a subscription.
all of them
you can rp without paying a sub but here we are glances at balmung
Pft
FFXIV in a nutshell.
Lmao
male roe with bunny ears there you have male viera
I like big dudes so I can't really complain what people find attractive.
Actually, I thought lore-wise male Viera are smaller?
do they ever give you that much information?
The other half want them added so the one half just shuts up lol
i'm in that camp
Pft
I'm in the camp that doesn't care either way.
as far as I knew the bunboy thing is because it's someone's fetish
if you want the male viera to be twinks you automatically fall under the fetish camp
and if male viera are huge nasty creatures then it ruins their mac and cheese session
As long as they don't shove their fetish in my face I don't care.
6.0 enables you to marry NPCs.

Have to log in every 45 days and click on NPC or they divorce.
well, as long as people keep campaigning for bunboy they're absolutely shoving their fetish in your face
1 NPC per player per world.
The fire that Fandango was staring into was made with all the belts collected.
I don't get where this comes from either because there's nothing in lore in any part of any of the Ivalice games that states male Viera are dimorphicly smaller than females.
"hi, I'm thirsty itchypants from balmung, when are you adding male viera"
There isn't even artwork of them.
there's some concept art for viera from when they were prototyping au ra
and they're much more beastlike
especially male viera

I got a feeling that isn't what they have in mind.
is it this line?
Final Fantasy XIV gives exposition to the elusive male viera, who are virtually identical at birth to females; only upon maturing they are able to be identified gender wise.
a few even
Tbh
Not sure how a Chemist would operate animation wise.
Imagine the amount of glass in peoples eyes.
Chemist seems kinda boring, but I can understand the potential complexity that it could have
Or the glass everywhere
I think people wanted Chemist because it'd be a different kind of healer thematically.
XD
best part about FF12 was them making a lore-relevant reason they only wear high heels lmao
Pffft
Instead of twirly magical girl casting
Sage is different too
It is
Fits the expansion as well
Which is why I'm interesting
Since we're going to Garlemald
I'm interested*
I wonder if the trainer will be an ex-Garlean
if that were true then how are we so SLOPPEH?
What if
@woeful dagger sage is likely Sharlayan
I big doubt
Instead of Asahi, Fandaniel took SHLOPPEH instead.
super saiya... oh, wrong universe
Pffft
Garlean's don't know magic, I don't think Nuoliths are magitek
does it only look Sharlayan cause Alphinaud is using it though
Nuoliths are used by manipulating the aether
But I think an introduction to a Garlean-themed Job would probably come from Gaius
I thought
We're probably going to Sharlaya for the space ship and that's where the twins will get make overs
That also aided the speculation of Chemist.
do we know anything about Nuoliths lol
I imagine Garleans would have their own method of treating wounds that doesn't come from a spellcaster.
it uses magic
whistles a la Yondu
Alphinaud using it, the term sage and it's connotations, the fact that they used Gubal Library to showcase it
so many things
and it seems to have a propulsion type style
yeah idk Sage makes sense to me in terms of "oh its magical robot guns that float around and shoot healing beams at wounded" which Garleans would need to treat their soldiers
wouldn't be surprised if the Nouliths use the same type of mechanism as the space ship thruster.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
@woeful dagger It's hard for them to do somethg Garlean because Garleans physically can't use any magic, no aether manipulation. So soul crystals probably wouldn't be involved either.
Pft
pretty sure nouliths is stolen from nu gundam. yoshi is a notorious gundam fan
magitek robot guns that fly around and heal allies
Garlean forces cast Cure and Paralyze all the time 
conscripted garleans
he said "totally original guys"
no pureblood garleans cast magic
idk what you're on about
but he said it so faceteiously
Are they pure blooded Garlean?
Well it's said to be "VERY RARE"
Garlean forces aren't all born Garlean
Like Cid or Nero?
Conscription
well who says the person who teaches us has to be pureblood or that the Garleans couldn't create their own Aether-oriented "job" using conscripts?
which is cheating
well.....I do believe Livia can cast cure
GAR class when?
Zenos can use it even before Resonant because he's from an unsundered anyways
🤔 I don't remember seeing lucia casting healing magic
are you sure it isn't aqua vitae?
@woeful dagger because every other race that can use magic is treated as a Savage and not really a garleanjust conquered by the Garlean
I'm pretty sure she uses cure but you could argue it's just gameplay
Technically, any race that can summon an eikon is a savage to Garleans
garleans can self-heal but it's usually second wind (mnk type) or aqua vitae (high ranking ones)
job preview took place in Gubal with a jazzy uptempo remix of the Gubal and Antitower themes
Yeah but we have Gabranth who views everyone as equal
Gabranth smells
Aldis the Gladiator still uses Flash. 
also a minority
gabranth smells like viera feet 
Eww
Garleans learned to adapt to life with NO magic, they see Magic as a weakness and a blight on the world
no, he literally has to have a special tool to even be able to access the aether fo the swords.
Nooo not a weakness
Only a man of power can adapt to life with NO magic.
Isn't Gabranth Dalmascan?
only a man of true power can conquer the world without the shortcuts of magic
"from" an unsundered 🤔
Emet was his gpa
*garlea-man
Cats is making the "from" meme we had earlier
Apparently I did too
@teal geyser magic is evil in Garlemald. Magic gave rise to Eikons and ruined the world.
Garlemald is Demacia
An Ascians showed beast tribes how to summon to begin with
So they just started the damn war
It's alllllll Ascians
.....yes they think primals bad but no they don't think magick necessarily bad
yes, because that's the point of the exercise
if they did think magic was bad they wouldn't fucking employ them everywhere
is that why dirk gently didn't get a third season? 😔
@teal geyser you mean the Savages that do all the grunt work
Because those magic people right so beneath them they need to learn to use technology
Turtles all the way down
the savage do all the shit work, yes
....you make it sound like somehow calling those people grunts somehow invalidates what I just said Yayayo
It's also worth noting that the entire notion that the Garleans hate magic users has been torn asunder with the revelation the entire empire is nothing but an Ascian plot and all their values and teachings were just to further an evil goal.
Always has been. 
Isn't it because magic users try to conquer them or push them out of their homes
Garleans themselves will probably undergo a cultural change in EW
Yes
but like
Especially as we more than likely liberate the Capitol from Zenos.
they still don't think magick automatically is evil
they just think everyone is a right ol dick
garleans will go from the oppressor to the oppressed
just in time for zenos to blow it apart and destroy the area 
everyone in eorzea is going to persecute the garleans
Splody
BROTHER! IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!
Enter Garlemald restoration. 
I just want magiteck-themed housing
nah, they will make garleans into a beast tribe
I'm hoping 6.0 is way longer than 5.0. If this is the end of first two Primals
you enjoy all the killing, that's why
Male viera should be a beast tribe.
How old is Gaia?
about Ryne's age
How old is Ryne?
probably 16 ish
^
Empire is dead, long live a new age in 7.0
Then we learn about an even older "proto-primal" that preceeds even the Ancients!
😮
They never give her an exact age
midgarsomnir
How old is Alissae?
The true enemy were the belts
16
was a priimal this whole time
The Twins are 17 in ShB
Well
So likely 18 going into EW
how old is derplander
Alisae is mine
I still think that guy is using Zenos and there's something even darker over the horizon
Alphy is going to be a legal eagle now.
I MEAN THEY ARENT 17

edit button 
They are "16" in the Source but they were in the First long enough to have aged to 17 physically.
they are still 16
soul does not mean physically
you idiot
u can have aliseaie, i'll take y'shtola
their physical bodies haven't changed
She can handle herself, you know. 
If that were true then dying in the game wouldn't mean dying in real life
Their physical body is literally just days older
Is a 16 yo elf the same as a 16 yo hyur?
Days?
Think we can assume there will be another class released with EW?
not days...
Nu-uh, Y'shtola is mine.
isn't shadowbringers only over the span of a month or two
😠
elezen have puberty a bit later which is why the twins are still smol, otherwise not really
yeah, it was a month or so
@untold gull back off!
dude i called dibs first
I could have sworn it was at least a few months on the Source
u can have her after
Nothing really says that but if you want to imagine that be my guest
Yshitola is oldy McOld
shruggy time is weird
that's even better
no, because they start getting worried that it's been a few weeks since the scions got yoinked and their souls have been pulled away from the body for too long
will never get past a year
we don't know Y'shtola's age
I don't think they ever used a strict time frame like "weeks"
Just that it's been "a while" or "a long time"
No, I mean between the Source and the First
she has to be around 32
it's not listed in EE
when you do the math
😳
Wibbly wobbly, toney wimey
I'm pretty sure there's a time skip in heavensward too, after aymeric gets stabbed there's a leap between "get stabbed" and "we have a somewhat working and stable government now"
anyone remember when Vaan asks for Fran's age
Y'shtola being 32. 😳
that was the only good cutscene in FF12
yes but what is mentioned is what she does at what age and for how long

she has to be around 32
How old is that Little Sun guy who asked Yshitola out?
Yshtola vs Alisae. Who is best Waifu? XD
Magnai
Y'shtola.
XD
only one is legal
Late 20s or something
Lmao
Alisaie crying in ShB
sadu
Alisaie will grow up to be that woman that never comes back home.
Probably the only true humor they've had in an FF game
Straddling you with the kid and bills.


So Yshitola is late 20s?
27
32 or there abouts
I can go through my logic if you want
@floral aurora Alisaie of course
Urianger is an unsundered so is ageless. Book it.
I want to hear this.
Yshtola and Thancred are more or less the same age so
my thing?
Urianger is 28
Right on!
Urianger chooses to appear 28
Yes.
He young old
Tyt, I need to go get something to eat. 
Urianger was able to traverse to the plane of the Ascians at the behest of Lahabrea so pretty sure he's more than just a really smart dude
Pft
How old is the Azure Dragoon?
"She claimed to be 23 since reaching that age"
google says thancred is 32, y'shtola is 23
thancred looks older but not that much older..
i would never want to stay 23
Thancred is not ageing like Gaius
because 23 year olds are dumb
Doesn’t Alphinaud have the hots for Estinien?
who the fuck cares how old y'shtola is
that's very unpog that they had such a limited supply of fanfest hoodies
😳
I put that shit off for the weekend and I missed out REEE
i mean who doesnt immaright?
i should get an FF14 hoodie. someone recommend me one.
How old is Estinien?
Taking the Fanfest whale?
mid-late twenties
He gonna jump us there
😳
EW is gated behind buying the 8-seat Whale mount + the expansion
DRG jump
80 dollar entry fee
Why does Estinien have white hair if he’s only 20?
Anime.
because he's elf
points to Cid
lol
because when Dragoons absorb dragon essence it does something to them
i believe is the lore reason
So she trains under Matoya at age 7, she trains with her for "a decade" which could be rounded but let's take that as 10 years exactly, that puts her at age 17 when she finishes her teaching and she joins the circle of knowing as a founding member, this group was founded in 1562, the year is 1577 now, 1577-1562 = 15
15+17 = 32
This of course assumes "a decade" is not rounded but that's why I say "around 32" to compensate for that
Then just reverses the numbers and is 23 again
Right
the Circle of Knowing is really bad at knowing what the fuck is going on
when you think about it
once she is 27 she'll start saying she's 72 
Alisae and Urianger should get married
um
No
XD
by a ghost
17 is legal in 99% of the world anyways
